Jointmarket Tumbler / yield_generator issue

I am unable to get the joinmarket tumbler or yield generator scripts working.

In particular the script enters a loop, trying to connect to .onion sites before dropping out and showing:

[ERROR]  We failed to connect and handshake with ANY directories; onion messaging is not functioning.

The sendpayment script on the other hand works fine (despite also giving the above error).

I am running joinmarket on an arch machine with tor and bitcoin core both running locally.

Software versions:

joinmarket-clientserver-0.9.11
bitcoin-26.0
Tor 0.4.8.12

I thought it might be an issue of incoming tor connections but the node accepts connections (in and out) over tor.

bitcoin-cli -netinfo
         ipv4    ipv6   onion   total   block
in         43       0       6      49
out         3       2       5      10       2
total      46       2      11      59

I thought it might be an issue with SOCKS proxy but netstat suggests correct functioning.

netstat -tuln | grep 9050
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:9050          0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN

Similarly curl --socks5-hostname 127.0.0.1:9050 https://check.torproject.org suggests connection is successfully made over tor.

I have tried both with and without cookie / password authentication. Neither seems to make a difference.

My Torrc config:

ControlPort 9051
HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/hidden_service/
HiddenServicePort 8333 127.0.0.1:8333

My Joinmarket config:

[MESSAGING:onion]
# onion based message channels must have the exact type 'onion'
# (while the section name above can be MESSAGING:whatever), and there must
# be only ONE such message channel configured (note the directory servers
# can be multiple, below):
type = onion

socks5_host = localhost
socks5_port = 9050

tor_control_host = localhost
tor_control_port = 9051
onion_serving_host = 127.0.0.1
onion_serving_port = 8333


[MESSAGING:server1]
channel = joinmarket-pit
port = 6697
usessl = true


# For Tor (recommended as clearnet alternative):
host = <xyz>.onion
socks5 = true
socks5_host = localhost
socks5_port = 9050

## IRC SERVER 2: ILITA IRC (optional IRC alternate, Tor only)
################################################################################
[MESSAGING:server2]
channel = joinmarket-pit
port = 6667
usessl = false
socks5 = true
socks5_host = localhost

host = <xyz>.onion
socks5_port = 9050

My bitcoin config:

server=1
listen=1

## TOR PARAMS
proxy=127.0.0.1:9050
 
# set the control port to access tor
torcontrol=127.0.0.1:9051
torpassword='<my_password>'

Note, the tor ControlPort 9051 is working successfully as am able to connect to the tor relay using nyx to confirm in and outbound traffic.

Very puzzled by this issue. Help very much appreciated.

Do Kwon’s Detention Prolonged Until 2024 As Montenegro Responds To Extradition Requests

Image
According to an International Business Times report , Montenegro’s Supreme Court decided to extend the detention of TerraForm Labs founder and CEO Do Kwon until February 2024, following extradition requests from the United States and South Korea. Closed-Door Discussions Reveal Montenegro’s Plan For Do Kwon Initially set to be extradited to the US on December 15, Do Kwon’s fate turned when the Montenegrin High Court ruled to prolong his stay until February 15, 2024. The decision stems from charges related to the collapse of the TerraUSD stablecoin, which led to significant financial losses. The High Court had previously ordered Kwon’s extradition by Friday, but his defense team appealed the decision in the appellate court in Podgorica, the capital of Montenegro. The Montenegrin Court of Appeal confirmed that Kwon contested the High Court’s ruling, vehemently stating, “I do not submit to the court’s decision.” Recent reports indicate that Montenegro’s Justice Minister, Andrej Mil...

Sam Bankman-Fried Trial Begins Tomorrow: 3 Reasons Ex-SEC Official Foresees Conviction

Image
The trial of Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder of cryptocurrency exchange FTX and hedge fund Alameda Research, is set to commence in New York on Tuesday, October 3.  This comes almost a year after the collapse of both FTX and Alameda Research. The events leading up to the trial paint a picture of alleged fraudulent activities and money laundering that caused significant damage to the businesses involved. Ex-SEC Official’s Bleak Prediction As Sam Bankman-Fried Trial Commences In a nutshell, Alameda Research purportedly took customer deposits from FTX and invested them in fictitious crypto tokens, which derived their value from the confidence in FTX’s operations.  When this confidence waned, FTX and Alameda Research suffered substantial losses, which many argue contributed to a broader disillusionment in the cryptocurrency industry.  Following an investigation, federal authorities uncovered numerous alleged crimes, leading to seven federal fraud and money-laundering cha...

April’s Crypto Game-Changers: 7 Events Set To Drastically Impact The Course Of Digital Currencies

Image
As the crypto market ended March positively, the industry gears up for an eventful April, marked by crucial developments and milestones that could significantly impact the digital asset landscape.  Crypto Halvings And Regulatory Deadlines The month starts with the Bitcoin Cash (BCH) halving event scheduled for April 2nd. Similar to Bitcoin (BTC), BCH undergoes a halving approximately every four years, which reduces mining profits for BCH miners.  On April 10, the US is scheduled to announce March’s Consumer Price Index (CPI), a vital indicator that measures the average price change paid by urban consumers for a basket of goods and services.  The Federal Reserve closely monitors the CPI as it influences inflation and, consequently, the central bank’s decisions regarding interest rates. Any changes in interest rates can ripple effect on the overall crypto market performance. April 19 marks the deadline for the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and US crypto...
